1247-1251: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winPre-filter before scanning each rewrite window
collect_segment_for_of_sites(&[list[i]])can never find a candidate because the one-element slice has no followingForstatement. The loop therefore performs a redundant recursive traversal, then clones and scans a two-statement window at every index. EachForbody is cloned at most twice at its containing list, but nested bodies are rescanned from every ancestor, producingO(N·D)work andO(N²)work for deeply nested modules.Restrict the scan to the exact iterator

Describe the final opt-in lowering, not the development slice.
changelog.d/ fragments become GitHub Release notes. State that PERRY_SEGVIEW=1 enables the default-off lowering, declined sites retain the iterator fallback, and PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAG=1 reports site verdicts and per-use tallies outside the build cache. The current “No lowering yet” text would make the shipped release notes inaccurate.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Remove the nested-statement recursion from the shallow expression walkers; it double-counts and double-rewrites.
for_each_expr_in_stmt_shallow is documented as visiting only the expressions owned directly by stmt, but the For arm recurses into the init statement (Lines 739-741) and the Labeled arm recurses into the body statement (Line 750). for_each_child_stmt visits those same two statements (Lines 543-545 and Line 548), and classify_segment_uses_in_stmt calls both walkers (Lines 522-523).
Consequences:
- A segment use inside a nested
forinit or inside a labeled statement is classified twice. Example:for (let w = O.codePointAt(0); …)inside the segment loop body yieldscode_point_at == 2for one occurrence.finish_candidatecannot correct this, because it only addsmaterialisewhen the census exceeds the classified total (Lines 477-479). The invariant stated at Lines 56-60 — an unclassified use can only understate — does not hold for these two shapes. for_each_expr_in_stmt_shallow_mut(Lines 1341-1352) andcollect_child_stmts_mut(Lines 1652-1658) overlap the same way, sorewrite_uses_in_stmtrewrites such an expression twice. The second pass matches theLocalGet(seg)left inside the firstpick's decline arm, producing a nested guard and an inflatedV2Emission, which lets the agreement check at Lines 1136-1139 agree on doubled counts.
The generic descent already reaches both statements independently (for_each_stmt_list_in_stmt, Lines 679-685), so dropping the recursion from the shallow walkers loses no coverage.

Gate the rewrite on iter_extra_uses == 0; the accepted path binds __segview_iter to undefined.
The generic for-of path inserts IteratorClose before break and return, and wraps the body to close on an escaping throw. rewrite_site replaces iter_id with pick(cur, undefined, decline_iter), so these close operations read return from undefined on the accepted path and throw instead of completing the loop.

Add an Expr::StringCodePointAt arm; without it v2 never fires on the folded bundle shape.
The classifier books Expr::StringCodePointAt as code_point_at (Lines 615-621), but rewrite_uses_in_expr matches only the generic Call(PropertyGet(O, "codePointAt")) form (Lines 1512-1527). For a folded site emitted.code_point_at stays 0 while site.segment_uses.code_point_at is at least 1, so the agreement check at Lines 1136-1139 refuses v2 and the site drops to v1.
Lines 62-71 state that the real bundle produces the folded node and the TypeScript probe produces the generic call. The loop this PR targets therefore keeps materialising one substring per grapheme, and the fallback hides it. segview_tests.rs pins the folded node only through classification (the_folded_code_point_at_node_is_classified_like_the_generic_call), so no test detects the downgrade.
Handle the folded node next to the RegExpTest arm, and add a lowering test that asserts js_segments_view_code_point_at is emitted for a StringCodePointAt body.

Register both segment-view flags in the build-cache contract.
segview_lowering_enabled() changes HIR when PERRY_SEGVIEW is non-empty and not "0". Add PERRY_SEGVIEW to BUILD_CACHE_ENV_VARS to prevent reuse of a binary built with the opposite setting.
segview_diag_enabled() uses the same predicate for PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAG, but eligibility() uses .is_ok(). Add PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAG to BUILD_CACHE_ENV_EXCLUSIONS to satisfy codegen_env_vars_are_build_cache_inputs, and use the same predicate in eligibility() so empty values and "0" do not cause unnecessary cache misses.

…ialising it
Five `#[no_mangle]` entry points that let a compiled
`for (let {segment: O} of X.segment(q))` loop read what it needs from a cursor
over the input instead of building a record and a substring per grapheme:
`open`, `next`, `code_point_at`, `segment` (materialise-on-miss) and
`regexp_test`. The interface is `INTERFACE_segments_view.md` §9, agreed with
the compiler lane whose lowering is PR #9859.
Nothing here constructs a `Segments`: `open` takes the segmenter and the input.
That is why the view mode did not depend on the lazy-`Segments` change measured
and refuted separately — `build_segments` stays eager and simply stops being
reached for the loop that matters.
The cursor is an ordinary GC object whose slot 0 holds the input as a traced
value, so the collector rewrites it like any other field: no registered root, no
side table, no new scanner, and no new rooting rule for codegen. Every entry
point re-derives its `&str` at entry and drops it before returning; `next` and
`code_point_at` allocate nothing at all.
Three contracts that are easy to get subtly wrong, so each has a test:
* `open` declines with NO observable effect and in a fixed order — in
particular an input that is not already a string primitive is refused BEFORE
any coercion, because `build_segments` runs user `toString` and throws on a
Symbol, and the compiler evaluates `X.segment(q)` itself on a decline.
* `code_point_at`'s `k` is bounded by the SEGMENT, not the input: `k` past the
segment end is `undefined` even though the input has more code units there. A
view that clamped to the input would silently answer the next grapheme.
* `regexp_test` matches a bounded haystack whose bounds ARE the string's ends,
so `^`/`$`/lookbehind stay segment-local. It declines (three-valued
`undefined`) for a global or sticky regex, whose `test` is stateful in
`lastIndex`, and for a patched `RegExp.prototype.test`.
Tests: 8 unit tests including the falsifier — 200 `next` + `code_point_at`
steps move `arena_in_use_bytes` by ZERO with the minor-cycle count pinned — and
a walk compared against `graphemes(true)` on combining marks, a ZWJ sequence and
a regional-indicator pair. `cargo test -p perry-runtime --release --lib`: 3,179
passed, 0 failed.
Two sabotage arms, and one of them refused to fire, which is reported rather
than hidden: replacing the bounded haystack with a start offset FAILS
`regexp_test_matches_the_materialised_call_...`, so that contract is proven
load-bearing; storing the pre-allocation input value instead of re-reading the
rooted handle passes everything, including under `PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=1`,
because `arena_alloc_gc` does not poll the collector — `gc_check_trigger()` runs
at a handful of explicit sites and arena allocation is not one of them. The
rooting stays as defensive practice; it is NOT demonstrated to be load-bearing,
and the interface says so.

…fires
Adds the fourth member of the escape-analysis family (escape_news /
escape_arrays / escape_objects): `collectors/segview.rs` recognises
`for (let {segment: O} of X.segment(q))` and proves the segment RECORD never
escapes, so the loop can eventually drive a native cursor instead of
materialising one record per grapheme.
That loop is the target: the allocation census ranks it 1/2/3 by count
(172,032 records + 124,928 + 122,880 substrings per 400-character reply, 58 %
of the top-30 allocation count), and the sample puts 60-85 % of active
main-thread CPU inside it, under ink's wrapText.
What is proven, and what deliberately is not. The only proof is that the
record does not escape — every use of `__destruct_N` is one of the
destructuring field reads the loop head itself emits. A use of the segment
STRING is never a rejection: any use no view entry point answers is served by
materialising the substring once into the same local, which is exactly what
the loop costs today. So `O`'s uses are classified and counted, not gated.
That is what separates "the record is gone" (v1) from "the loop allocates
nothing" (v2, which needs the runtime's regexp_test).
The escape proof is a count, and it is taken with perry_hir's
collect_local_refs_stmt — the LocalId collector that handles every
LocalId-bearing variant explicitly and delegates the rest to the walker whose
match the compiler forces to be exhaustive. A new HIR variant embedding a
LocalGet is therefore a compile error in the walker, not a silently missed use
of the record. The `O`-use classifier is hand-written and can miss a shape, so
it is checked against that same sound count and every unclassified occurrence
is booked as "must materialise": an unrecognised use can make a site look less
optimisable than it is, never more.
No lowering. The tier's fact is populated and unread; the runtime's view-mode
entry points do not exist yet.
The counter is the point of the commit. A tier can be correct and never match
(PerryTS#9824), so PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAG=1 reports every for-of site examined, the
verdict, the rejection reason and the per-use tally — and it runs at the
HIR-trace point, the last place before codegen, where the statements scanned
are exactly the statements codegen consumes. That makes "does it fire on the
real bundle?" answerable in HIR-lowering time instead of a full LLVM build.
The env var is excluded from the build-level cache for the same reason
--opt-report is: a cached build never lowers HIR, and a report that prints
nothing reads exactly like a tier that never fired.
Unit tests pin the matcher against the HIR shape a real --trace hir dump
produces, including the two negative controls that matter: a record use hidden
inside a closure rejects, and a `{segment, index}` head declines under its own
name rather than firing.
…ryTS#9843) The first draft cited PerryTS#9846, a number I had not checked and which does not exist. Comment-only change; the fragment is renamed to match. This is the same failure the segmenter lane caught in the brief's 'PerryTS#8364', which has no reference anywhere in the tree either.
… view use
The bundle counter reported `code_point_at=0, materialise=1` for `N$6` in
cli_2.1.112.js -- the string-width loop that is 60-85 % of claude-code's active
main-thread CPU -- where the probe had reported 1 and 0.
Cause: perry's JS pipeline folds `O.codePointAt(k)` into the dedicated
`Expr::StringCodePointAt { string, index }` node. The classifier matched only
the generic `Call(PropertyGet(O, "codePointAt"), [k])` shape, which is what a
TypeScript probe produces. Exactly one occurrence moved buckets, which is the
signature of a single unmatched shape and nothing else.
Two things this does not change: the escape proof (the record's non-escape is a
count from `collect_local_refs_stmt`, not from this classifier) and any
verdict. Only the per-use tally moves, and only in the direction of reporting
more of what the runtime view can answer.
Why the wrong number was visible at all: every occurrence the classifier does
not recognise is reconciled against that sound count and booked as
"must materialise", so an unmatched shape under-reports optimisability and can
never over-report it. A classifier that guessed instead of reconciling would
have reported `code_point_at=0, materialise=0` here and looked correct. That
property is the reason the tallies can be believed.
The rule the miss establishes, now recorded in the module docs: a shape that
reproduces on a probe is not proof it reproduces on the bundle. The bundle
counter is 32 seconds -- run it after every change to this classifier.
… (v1)
v1 per `INTERFACE_segments_view.md` §9b: `js_segments_view_open` + `_next` in
the loop, `_segment` once per step for the body. The body is NOT rewritten, so
every use of the segment binding still sees an ordinary string. This removes
the 48-byte segment RECORD per grapheme -- the allocation census's site 1,
172,032 per 400-character claude-code reply -- and the whole eager
`build_segments` array with its two per-call closures. The substring stays;
per-use `_code_point_at` / `_regexp_test` is the next increment.
Emitted shape, for a site the matcher proves:
Let recv = <receiver> // hoisted, evaluated ONCE
Let inp = <input> // hoisted, evaluated ONCE
Let cur = js_segments_view_open(recv, inp) // 0.0 on decline
Let A = cur != 0 ? undefined : GetIterator(recv.segment(inp))
For { init: Let R = cur != 0 ? _next(cur) : js_for_of_next(A),
cond: cur != 0 ? R == 1 : !R.done,
update: R = cur != 0 ? _next(cur) : js_for_of_next(A),
body: [Let O = cur != 0 ? _segment(cur) : R.value.segment,
<original body, untouched>] }
Three properties this shape exists to get right, each with a test.
The receiver and the input are HOISTED. Both appear on the accept path as
`open`'s arguments and on the decline path as `recv.segment(inp)`, so leaving
them in place would evaluate them twice: `getSegmenter().segment(next())` would
call each twice. That is a miscompile, and claude-code's own `rR_.segment(q)`
would never have exposed it because both operands there are side-effect-free.
The `.segment` PROPERTY GET stays inside the decline arm. Hoisting the receiver
does not hoist the member access, so a receiver whose `segment` is an accessor
runs it exactly once, in its original position, on the path that needs it --
the ordering obligation §9f places on `open`'s decline path, honoured from the
compiler side.
The body is left byte-identical. That is what keeps `break` / `continue` /
labels correct and avoids duplicating any `Expr::Closure` the body contains,
which would carry a duplicate `FuncId`.
The ternaries are real branches: `lower_conditional` emits a four-block CFG
with a phi, so the decline arm's `GetIterator` does not run when `open`
accepted. Verified before relying on it -- an eager select-style lowering would
build the `Segments` on every loop and lose the entire per-call saving.
Fresh LocalIds are seeded above every id the module mentions, declarations
included and not only references: a local declared and never read still owns
its id.
DEFAULT OFF, behind `PERRY_SEGVIEW=1`. The runtime's view entry points do not
exist yet, so an on-by-default rewrite would emit calls that fail to link.
…as lowered to
The counter and the rewrite answered two different questions and only one was
being reported. `PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAG=1` reports the CLASSIFICATION -- what each
use of the segment binding could be answered by -- and it runs before the
rewrite, because after it the shape is gone. So there was no way to confirm
what was actually EMITTED, which was the counter's original purpose.
Reordering the passes would trade one blind spot for the other. Instead the
rewrite reports itself, and the two lines together say classification and
emission:
[segview] …::N$6 verdict=fires … code_point_at=1 regexp_test_dynamic=2 materialise=0
[segview-lower] __destruct_118613 open=1 next=1 segment=1 code_point_at=0 regexp_test=0
declined=none (classifier: code_point_at=1 regexp_test=2 materialise=0)
Note deliberately that the emission line reports `code_point_at=0
regexp_test=0` even on a site the classifier scores as fully answerable. That
is not a bug and it is not rounding: v1 emits `_segment` once per step and
leaves the body untouched, so no use is answered from the view yet. The gap
between the two lines IS the v1/v2 boundary, and having the instrument state it
is better than having a reader infer from the design that v1 already routes
`codePointAt` through the cursor. It will close when the per-use rewrite lands.
Also fixes an `unused_mut` this pass introduced in `max_local_id_in_module`,
which would have failed a `-D warnings` gate. Found by type-checking against
the existing release artifacts -- zero disk cost, which mattered because the
box is at 8 GiB and the integration build was killed by a disk watchdog.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…ising nothing v1 bound the segment with `_segment` once per step and left the body alone, so it removed the record and kept the substring. v2 rewrites the USES: on a site where the classifier found nothing that needs the string, the accepted path materialises nothing at all and the loop reaches zero allocations per grapheme. That is where the remaining time is. perry-b4's I2 table puts ink's wrapText subtree at 80.2 % of active main-thread CPU (`E46`/`tI1` 4,238 of 5,152 samples, `u_N_24_6` 4,131 — about 4.1 s of a 5.2 s turn), with no dominant collector leaf left; the collector's share is minors landing inside this loop. v1 does not reach that. v2 does. Two substitutions, with very different risk. `O.codePointAt(k)` becomes `js_segments_view_code_point_at(cursor, k)` — a pure expression swap. `k` is unchanged: it is segment-relative and segment-bounded by the runtime's contract (§9d), the same bound the materialised substring had. `recv.test(O)` is the hard one. Read from PerryTS#9870 rather than assumed: `js_segments_view_regexp_test(cursor, regex)` — CURSOR FIRST — returns true, false, or `undefined` meaning "I declined" (global/sticky regex, patched `RegExp.prototype.test` or an own `test`), and the runtime does NOT fall back internally, so the compiler must. `recv` is arbitrary — in cc it is `g54.default()`, an opaque call that must run exactly once per evaluation — so it cannot be repeated in the fallback arm. The emitted form is a pure expression, so no control flow is restructured: Sequence([ LocalSet(t_recv, <recv>), // opaque call, ONCE LocalSet(t_res, _regexp_test(cursor, t_recv)), t_res === undefined ? t_recv.test(_segment(cursor)) : t_res ]) The materialisation is inside the decline arm, so the accepted path allocates nothing. Every rewritten use is GUARDED, not replaced: `cur != 0 ? <view form> : <original>`. The loop body is shared between the accepted and declined paths, so the original expression must survive for the decline arm, where `O` holds a real string. On acceptance `O` is bound to `undefined` and never read, because every use takes the view arm — which is what makes the accepted path allocation-free without duplicating the body. A site with even one unanswerable use stays on v1: paying per-use guards on top of a materialisation that happens anyway is strictly worse. WHAT SUBSTITUTES FOR THE TESTS THIS COULD NOT BE RUN AGAINST. This box cannot build (its target was deleted to recover disk), so `rustfmt` and reading are the only gates. The pass therefore rewrites a CLONE of the body and keeps it only if the emission matches the classification exactly — same `code_point_at` count, same `regexp_test` count. If they disagree, some use was not rewritten and would read an unbound segment on the accepted path, so the clone is discarded and v1 is used. The check is the mechanism, not a comment. `[segview-lower]` now reports which arm was taken, so classifier and emission can be compared on the real bundle: [segview-lower] <rec> open=1 next=1 segment=0 code_point_at=1 regexp_test=2 declined=none (v2: …) [segview-lower] <rec> open=1 next=1 segment=1 code_point_at=0 regexp_test=0 declined=none (v1: …) Decline paths are unchanged. Three HIR-level tests added beside the v1 ones. NOT COMPILED AND NOT RUN — see the commit message above and §v2 of HANDOFF_segview_e2e.md for exactly what is unverified. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
The lowering emitted the calls and the module never declared them, so the
in-process LLVM parse rejected the whole module:
perry_llvm_….ll:5172:22: error: use of undefined value '@js_segments_view_next'
%r75 = call double @js_segments_view_next(double %r74)
Not a degraded build — no build at all. The five entry points are now
registered in `runtime_decls/strings.rs` beside `js_for_of_next`, which is
where every other runtime native gets its `declare`.
Signatures are read from `perry-runtime/src/intl/segments_view.rs`, not
assumed: `open(f64,f64)`, `next(f64)`, `code_point_at(f64,f64)`,
`segment(f64)`, `regexp_test(f64,f64)`. Note `regexp_test` is (cursor, regex),
cursor first; it was relayed the other way round once and the source settled
it.
Why the tier's twelve HIR tests could not catch this: they assert the rewrite
emits `Call(ExternFuncRef "js_segments_view_next", …)`, and it did. The gap was
between "the lowering emits the call" and "the module can be parsed", and
nothing tested the second. `every_segment_view_entry_point_is_declared` closes
it by running the real declare phase over an `LlModule` and checking each of
the five by name — remove any one registration and it fails naming that symbol.
It also asserts ARITY, which is the sabotage a name-only check would miss: a
wrong parameter count parses cleanly and then miscompiles the call, because
LLVM will coerce or drop an argument rather than complain.
`v2_answers_every_use_from_the_view_and_materialises_nothing` failed because
the v2 rewriter handled only the generic `Call(PropertyGet(recv,"test"), [O])`
shape. perry folds a test whose regex is statically known into
`Expr::RegExpTest { regex, string }`, which the classifier counts as
`regexp_test_static` — so the classification said "answerable" and the emission
did not answer it.
The pass's own agreement check caught that: emission counts did not match
classification counts, so it discarded the rewrite and fell back to v1 rather
than emitting a loop that reads an unbound segment on the accepted path. The
guard did its job; this teaches the rewriter the shape so the guard stops
having to.
Unlike the generic form, the static node's regex is a literal or a binding with
no side effect worth hoisting, so it can be repeated in the decline arm and
needs one temporary rather than two.
Also corrects an assertion in that test that could not hold: it required
`__segview_test_recv` on a body whose only test is the static node, which has
no opaque receiver to hoist. That property belongs to the generic form and is
already pinned by `v2_evaluates_an_opaque_test_receiver_exactly_once`. Replaced
with the tri-state temporary, which this body does have, and commented so it is
not re-added.
16/16 segview tests pass.

The cursor local is declared in the ENCLOSING statement list, not inside the
loop:
let __segview_recv = <receiver>
let __segview_input = <input>
let __segview_cursor = js_segments_view_open(recv, inp)
let __segview_iter = cur != 0 ? undefined : GetIterator(...)
For { ... } <- last read of the cursor
so without a clear its slot stays a live GC root until the function returns.
The cursor holds the input string in a traced slot, so a cursor promoted during
the loop drags that string into the old generation, and leaving the slot rooted
afterwards keeps a DEAD cursor doing it for the rest of the function.
`string-width` is entered thousands of times per reply.
That is a candidate mechanism for the idle behaviour measured on cc: I4 settles
45-65 MB ABOVE I3 at 3300 and 15-20 MB at 400 after 120 s, despite winning
20-50 MB of PEAK RSS in 12/12 paired runs. Lower peak with a higher floor is
not "less garbage"; it is something being retained.
One unconditional `LocalSet(cursor, undefined)` after the loop covers both
paths: on the declined path the local holds `0.0`, a number, so the clear is a
no-op. `break` reaches it; `return` inside the body pops the frame, which is
equally fine.
WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO, stated so the commit is not read as a cure: it does not
prevent promotion DURING the loop, and nothing in the compiler can, because the
cursor is genuinely live there. It removes only the post-loop rooting of a dead
cursor. If the idle delta comes from cursors promoted mid-loop, this will not
move it. perrymaster's old-gen census after idle, counting class id
0xFFFF_000E on I5-spec / I5-view / I7-view, decides that independently.
The test is structural rather than string-matched: it locates the rewritten
`For`, reads the cursor's LocalId out of the loop's own guard, and requires the
next statement to be `LocalSet(that id, Undefined)`. It fails if the clear is
removed, clears the wrong local, or is emitted before the loop.
17/17 segview tests.

PERRY_SEGVIEW=1. Flipping the default is aseparate follow-up PR, gated on this and #9893 having landed plus a
main-vs-default-on rotation — not this one.
On cc — primary row: main5 vs the tier with #9893, paired
perrymaster, quiet box, nothing else compiling, main5 vs I5's view bundle on
the levers' runtime. This is the joint tier + levers figure (see the
attribution note below).
MIN −14 %, faster in 5/5. Peak RSS −36, −36, −42, −30, −32 MB (5/5).
120 s settled 483 → 479 MB (flat). 400: CPU −0.10, −0.01, 0.00 s; peak

I7-view is 4.8–5.3× node at 3300, from main5's 5.6–6.3× in the same
rotation. Output identical.

af9227369, 7×3300 + 5×400, load 0.35–0.9 — thefirst clean-box rotation, so these are the numbers to quote.
Inertness passes first.
I5-spec − main5= −0.08…+0.07 s per pair, peak−15…+5 MB, idle RSS ±10 MB: ≈ 0 on every column. With
PERRY_SEGVIEWunset the tier changes nothing, which is what makes the next row attributable
to it rather than to carrying the branch.
I5-view − main5The idle regression does not reproduce on main. The +45–65 MB higher settle
seen against the I3 base is absent here: I5-view settles at or below main5
on both lengths. Its idle CPU is ~0.9 s higher at 3300, which is a separate
open question. The cursor-clear commit (
87b631b0e) that targeted the settledelta is therefore not load-bearing for it and is now only a census question.
Profile (I5-view).
wrapTextsubtree 74.9 % of the thread.The elision worked; the guard ate it. The record and the substring are gone
— that is 31–50 MB of peak, in 12/12 paired runs across both lengths. The view's
own steps are small (
_next3.5 %,_code_point_at1.6 %,open0.6 %). TheCPU goes into the three-valued decline guard the interface requires (§5/§9g),
which re-checks a global property on every call, twice per grapheme:
_regexp_testis 38.2 % of the thread with 1.53 % self, the rest being theRegExp.prototype.testcanonicality walk and its"test"-keymemcmp.This was predicted before any cc run. A region-B probe profile already read
_regexp_testat 40.4 % inclusive with 30.6 % of the thread in the canonicalityre-check and 0.8 % in actual matching, on a shape where the tier bought nothing.
The cc result is that shape at scale, which is why those rows were kept here
rather than dropped as a null result.
So the tier's CPU sign depends on #9893, whose two levers remove exactly
this cost. That pair has now run — see the I7 row above: −27 % against the
tier alone, and the sign flips negative.
With #9893: I7-view vs I5-view, same bundle objects, quiet box
The levers remove exactly the cost the profile identified: the per-call
canonicality walk that made
_regexp_test38.2 % of the thread at 1.53 % self,and the per-grapheme
RegExpconstruction. A paired main5 / I7-view rotationis running and its row will be appended here; this PR un-drafts on it.
Note on attribution: the paired row is the joint tier + levers figure, and
that is the right number to publish. Splitting it between the two changes would
need a
main5 / I7-specarm, which nobody has run and nobody needs to unlesssomeone wants to publish the split.

What the PR head contains beyond the measured codegen
The rows above were measured on codegen
cafd9e781. The PR head is72483f644, which iscafd9e781plus exactly two commits, neither of whichchanges those numbers:
72483f644— the build-cache fix. ExcludesPERRY_SEGVIEWfrom thebuild-level cache. Changes no emitted code. It closes a hole in the
measurement rig rather than in the compiler output: the switch changes
codegen but was in neither the cache fingerprint nor any object-cache key,
so a cached build could serve a binary compiled with the other setting —
two A/B arms that are secretly the same binary. (Checked against the rows
here: the I5-spec bundle was a full recompile, the view bundles carried
PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAGwhich was already excluded, and every probe A/B has armswhose timings differ by 2–4× at identical checksums. No measured pair was the
same binary; the rows stand.)
87b631b0e— the cursor clear. Emits oneLocalSet(cursor, undefined)after the loop, so it is CPU-neutral by construction. Its memory effect
is measured separately as the I5c census arm. The idle-settle delta that
motivated it did not reproduce on main, so it is kept on its own merits —
a dead cursor should not stay rooted to function end — and not as a fix for
that number.
Earlier row, for reference: I3 base (I4 vs I3)
Noisier box (load 2.7–9), superseded by the clean-box rotation above. 3300 CPU
+0.14…+0.36 s in 7/7 (≈ +7 %); peak −20…−26 MB in 7/7; 400 CPU mixed, peak
−40…−50 MB in 5/5; and a 120 s settle 45–65 MB HIGHER at 3300 — the one
result that does not reproduce on main.
The target
for (let {segment: O} of X.segment(q))in claude-code'sstring-width. Onperry-b4's I2 reference, ink's
wrapTextsubtree is 80.2 % of activemain-thread CPU (
u_N_24_64,131 of 5,152 samples — ~4.1 s of a 5.2 s turn),with no dominant collector leaf left: the collector's share is minors landing
inside this loop. The allocation census ranks it 1/2/3 by count.
What the tier proves
collectors/segview.rsjoinsescape_news/escape_arrays/escape_objectsas the escape family's fourth member, and proves one thing:the segment record never escapes, because every use of the synthetic
__destruct_Nbinding is a destructuring field read the for-of head emits.The escape proof is a count taken with
perry_hir::collect_local_refs_stmt,whose descent bottoms out in a walker the compiler forces to be exhaustive — a
new HIR variant embedding a
LocalGetis a compile error there, not a silentlymissed use. The per-use classifier is hand-written, so it is reconciled against
that same count and every unclassified occurrence is booked "must materialise":
it can make a site look less optimisable than it is, never more.
Design
Uses are guarded, not replaced:
cur != 0 ? <view form> : <original>. Theloop body is shared between the accepted and declined paths, so the original
must survive for the decline arm. On acceptance the segment binds to
undefinedand is never read, because every use takes the view arm — thatis what makes the accepted path allocation-free without duplicating the body
(duplication would carry duplicate
FuncIds).recv.test(O)is the hard case.js_segments_view_regexp_test(cursor, regex)returns true, false, or
undefinedmeaning "I declined", and the runtime doesnot fall back internally, so the compiler does — with the opaque receiver
(
g54.default()) hoisted to a temporary so it is evaluated exactly once, andthe materialisation inside the decline arm only.
Agreement self-check. v2 rewrites a clone and keeps it only if the
emission counts match the classification counts exactly, falling back to v1
otherwise. This is not decoration: it is what caught the missing
Expr::RegExpTestshape, discarding the rewrite instead of emitting a loopthat reads an unbound segment.

The two agree — the v1/v2 boundary is closed.
Correctness: checksum
6220on all three arms — spec path, view path, andnode. The tier computes the same answers.
Time, min of 5. The probe has two timed regions and they say different
things, so both are here.
Region A — one
.segment()call per CHARACTER, which is cc's wrap-ansishape:
3.1× faster than the spec path, 2.26× node, 100× the 29.9 ns native
reference.
Region B — one call per whole LINE:
On region B the tier buys nothing, and that is the honest result. Both arms
sit at the same 323 B/grapheme and the same time. An earlier two-region run
reported spec-B at 4,016; that was region A's residue, not region B, and it is
withdrawn.
So the claim this PR makes is narrow and specific: it removes the per-call
Segmentsconstruction, the record and the substring — the work that scaleswith how often
.segment()is called. That is region A's shape and cc's.Where a single call segments a long string, the per-grapheme cost is dominated
by the regex path — the per-grapheme
RegExpconstruction and the per-callRegExp.prototype.testcanonicality lookup — which this PR does not touch andwhich the segmenter and regex lanes are addressing separately.
A profile of region B under the tier (20 s, main thread, leaf sum = thread
header exactly) sizes that residue:
js_segments_view_regexp_test40.4 %inclusive, of which 30.6 % of the whole thread is the prototype canonicality
re-check and 0.8 % is the actual match;
js_regexp_new15.7 %; the view's ownsteps are small —
_next4.9 % inclusive / 0.4 % self,_code_point_at2.1 % /0.4 %,
open0.6 %.Allocations, measured on region B alone (perrymaster, REPS 2000 → 4000,
delta over 640,000 graphemes, minors 46 → 106 in both arms, granularity
≈ 3.2 MB ≈ 5 B/grapheme):
The tier saves 14 B/grapheme here, not the ~112 B the census's
record-plus-substring figure would suggest. For region B's one-character
graphemes the record and substring evidently cost about that much — an inline /
SSO string with no heap record — so the census's per-grapheme bytes, taken on
cc's mixed input, do not transfer to this shape. Promoted bytes do not grow with
reps in either arm, so nothing survives the loop.
The remaining 286 B/grapheme is present in BOTH arms and is not this PR's:
the per-grapheme
g54.default()RegExpconstruction, plus whatever thegeneric
.test()andcodePointAtcalls box. That is the regex lane's target,and the profile below sizes it.
(An earlier figure of "≤ 566 B/grapheme, bounded" from a dev-box run is
superseded: it was a whole-process differential with both regions active, so it
measured region A's harness as well as the loop.)
Decline paths
The probe covers one of four decline shapes. The other three are pinned at
HIR level by
a_declining_site_is_not_rewritten,a_second_destructured_field_declines_with_its_own_reasonanda_non_canonical_head_declines_by_name.The diagnostic is COMPILE-TIME only
PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAG=1prints duringperry compile— the classifier linebefore the rewrite, the
[segview-lower]line at rewrite time. A compiledbinary prints nothing at run time, by design, and the acceptance criterion
above is a compile-time check. (
report_segview_countersis a runtime counterin #9870's
intl/segments_view.rs; it is not part of this PR — this branch haszero occurrences of it — and whether it is wired or removed is that PR's call.)
Tests
cargo test -p perry-codegen --lib segview— 16 passed. Includesevery_segment_view_entry_point_is_declared, which runs the real declare phaseand checks each of the five entry points by name and by arity: the calls
were emitted without
declares once already, and the module failed the LLVMparse outright ("use of undefined value '@js_segments_view_next'"). A wrong
arity parses cleanly and then miscompiles the call, so presence alone is not
enough.
